Oh, yeah … McMartin.
Heartily concur on opinions concerning the horrors of kiddy porn. The purveyors of this stuff will get their due.
BUT, I also want to hack that damned purple monkey into a pile of chimp-burger, grill the pile of crap, and feed it to his CEOs on stale bread as “Chump Burger”. That obnoxious little jerk that wants to do EVERYTHING for me; sounds like a spoon-feed-the-masses invention of AOL. DIE YOU LITTLE MONKEY!!!
Stupid question ahead: Would a firewall prevent the scenario dave described?
Pundit-
I don’t think the firewall would help much. What does, or would, help is filtering software. I can’t come up with names right now because it’s early, but certain filtering software will “sniff” the incoming mail and either delete or prompt the user to possibly bad attachments in e-mail.
Personally, I don’t use them because my main e-mail is pretty safe. On top of that, I only open attachments from people I know. In work enviroments, however, I believe the filtering software is pretty common.

In UK jails there is a definate heirarchy of offenders and of their offences.
Usually serious organised lifers are at the top followed by say security robbers.
Serious drug traders can be near the top,especially if they are near the apex of their organistion.
The sorting order runs down toward the bottom where industry burglars see themselves above household burglars and near the very bottom are the heroin addicts who are so desparate they will do literally anything whatsoever to trade for a fix.
At the lowest of the low are, granny bashers - who violently assault the elderly often for pitifully small amount of cash bu it might be said in a twisted sort of way that most of the previous have material motives for their actions, which brings us to the sub-human.
Sex-offenders, child molesters etc have only instant gratification on their minds and there is no material gain, as such these types of offence are known as 'nonsense ’ crimes and the perps are called Nonces.
To be labelled a Nonce is a dangerous thing in jail, if you were called even as a jest youe to be prepared to fight insantly, its the provocative equivlalent of the old western cliche “You callin’ me a liar”
Nonces are very often kept in separate units as they are at so much risk, these are Vulnerable Prisoner Units, they rarely cause trouble to prison staff and are easy to manage but there is the perception that these individuals cannot be cured and that upon release they will continue where they left off.
Sex-offender treatment programs have shown this to be false and they can be succesfully rehabilitated.
I usually do not look at a cons record as I know that I would find it hard to be even handed, I take them as they are, if they give me grief then I return the favour and by not knowing what they are in jail for I don’t run the risk of inadvertantly passing on the information.
As a member of prison staff it is not for me to judge the heinessness of an inmate, that is the remit of the courts, my role is to try and find a way to keep order and maybe teach and lead.
OTOH I am just as human as everyone else and would lose no sleep at all if a Nonce were to be seriously harmed or killed, just as long as I am not responsible in any way for it.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for calling the FBI! It’s great to know that there are people out there who will report stuff and not worry about “Oh I might get in trouble”. BRAVO!
Good point, Chris, and one I had completely overlooked until your post. The settings used to be higher, but upon checking, they were too low. I have NO idea how that happened either. I have reset them back where they are supposed to be. Thank you.
WeirdDave, I got some bad news. This could be worse. It could be that you are being set up.
You better check your cookies for persistent ones, and re-check for more files. Be sure to wipe your cache folder clean. Someone who just spammed you with child porn can turn around and call authorities on you, even if it not your fault. This could be even a form of legal entrapment set up by a law enforment agency to catch child porn collectors.
Unfortunately for Sun Microsystems, Java and Javascript is being used a whole lot for such ‘windows popping’ tricks as that pulled off on you. It is also used to track you and your every click while you surf, whether or not you use a firewall or a proxy. And Java can be used to change your browser’s security settings as well. That is why when I power-surf, script reading are disabled, except for certain sites. This is unfortunate that it comes down to this
Holy mother of fuck.
Maybe it’s just me but I’d have no problem talking to these sick fucks, albeit with a baseball bat.
A guy I met used this approach once and said that he beat the molestor so badly he doubted that this sick fuck could have played with himself afterwards let alone, molest his children.
I am referring to the people who distribute these materials for personal gain, I realize that child molestors are seriously ill individuals and need treatment although it is hard to reconcile this reality with the protective instincts I have for my own and other people’s children.
That’s some sick shit, Wierddave. I don’t know what I would have done, but I commend you for doing something.
I try to be open-minded about most sexually deviant behavior, but as the father of a 3 girls (all ten years old and younger) this topic makes my blood boil. A baseball bat up the rectum would be an appropriate starter for those sick bastards!
Also, in the past I have worked with prison populations, and to reiterate what casdave said above, the convicts I spoke to summed up their mentality towards child molesters and sex offenders simply by stating, they have wives, children and mothers out there that they still love and care about. Regardless of their particular crime, they viewed child molesters as the lowest form of criminal (sort of a dishonor to the trade I guess) because they prey on the innocent and weak.
I’m sorry to say that these fucks are still in operation- they hacked into the DE Geographic Alliance Website, of all places. Christ.
Excuse me, but as a member of prison staff, if a prisoner were seriously harmed or killed on your watch, you WOULD be responsible for it.
Same thing happened to a Doctor in this story. This is really scary stuff. The guys life is now ruined for trying to do the same thing you did, by the same people you contacted, the FBI.

Moral of the story: CYA CYA CYA!!!
Alternative: Delete everything on your pc associated with the incident, walk away and never mention it again. To anyone!
The FBI’s position is that they don’t know who the guy is. He’s a liar and never tried to contact them. He’s just another pedophile.
The facts seem stacked against the FBI. But so what? Think you can beat them? HA! I don’t think so!
If you decide to pursue this any further, DOCUMENT DOCUMENT DOCUMENT! And once again, DOCUMENT! Names, dates, times, places, phone numbers. Everything, anything. Don’t end up like this poor guy.
And now it’s time for Friedo’s Totally Off Topic Technical Nitpicking of the Day.
While Java is indeed a product of Sun, the Javascript specification (an ECMA standard, originally to be marketed as “LiveScript”) was developed by Netscape.
Shit like this, though, is why I have Javascript turned off by default. It also prevents annoying popup ads. I only turn it on for things that really require it, like my online banking site.
Jesus H. Christ! :eek:
Damn, that shit is vile. I remember when I was on AOL back in 1997 (hey, I was a newbie and didn’t know better; I have EarthLink now) and the KP was all over the place.
We definetly need some laws changed. If you rat out a KP trader, you should be granted immunity from prosecution.
Just tell me–what in Hell’s name are you doing with ICQ? I had it for a grand total of four hours, and all I got was damn porn spams. I now have AIM and I’m doing much better with it.
I thourougly(sp?) HATE KP. Although I’m pretty Libertarian (registered Republican; usually votes a split ticket between Republicans and Libertarians with the occasional Democrat), I also believe this shit to be one of the DAMN few things which isn’t protected by the First Amendment.
capacitor thanks for the tip. I’m gonna shut off Javascript right now. I have both Opera and MSIE 5.0, and I’ll save MSIE for my web-based email.
Don’t get me wrong–I love porn. But THIS shit…damn. :mad:
If anyone should ever happen across the RL location of one of these people, please be kind enough to forward such location to me, be it a street address, or even GPS coordinates (I still have Army friends in Artillery).
While I don’t need the target practice, paper targets are getting boring, and I’m not so far gone as to want to shoot people at random just yet.
I’ve got the perfect rifle to use on such people, a scoped Winchester Model 70 Laredo, 7mm Remington Magnum, free-floating barrel, synthetic stock (no humidity variations to throw off my aim) and B.O.S.S. I’ve yet to achieve the rifle’s theoretical maximum accuracy, even playing with the loads, and I’m good.
Alternately, I might convince Anthracite to pick up her Ruger Mini and go on a “cleaning spree” with me.
Ex-Tank,
I ran 100 rounds thru a model 1911 this weekend at the range, can I come too? I wanna see what a .45 does to flesh and bone.
Hey, the more the merrier! I figure if more scumbags get blasted to steaming, smoking gobbets of flesh, the better off this world might be.
Now I’m all nervous. I got one of those stupid ICQ porn links a while ago, but it wasn’t anything as nasty as we’re talking about. But all those windows pooped up, and now I’m scared as hell that it might have put some crap on my computer. Short of reformatting, how can I make sure I don’t have any of this shit on my system? How can I make sure I don’t end up getting any evil shit like that? I dread to think that I someday might send my computer in for service and end up in jail because of some stupid ass, dirty child-molesting sleazebucket sending me links over ICQ.
Extank, I might tag along with you. I don’t got a gun, but a baseball bat will work fine for me.
May I come, too? I wanna see what my tanto knife can do to a human penis.
